Stumptown Coffee Review

My friend, the wonderful writer Megan Morrison and her husband Devin, recently sent me and my husband some Stumptown Coffee from Portland, Oregon. It was a bag of Guatemala Finca El InJerto Bourbon. I’m not sure what that means exactly, beyond that it’s from Guatemala, but it was really delicious. I confess to not being able to taste the lime notes, but this has some of the strongest cocoa flavors I’ve ever tasted in a coffee and the mint is there as just a hint in the back of the flavor. The roast is perfect, not too dark, which is a common problem among roasters. With a lighter roast all the flavors are available in the coffee and Stumptown nailed the roast on this one. I haven’t had any of their other coffees, but if this is an example, then this is a roaster to buy from.
